One.half Of the world does not know

fortunate half, in their comfortable
homes, could know of the discomfort
and misery endured by the other half
their petty Inconvenience would grow
very small, and possibly larger char
ity would grow in their hearts. bear
ing fruit in efforts to help the less
fortunate.
Through the poorer quarters of New
York this summer, du ing the heated
term that we al thought so hard TO
bear, thousands of people walked the
streets or laid upon the door steps, be-
cause of the foul and ~suffocating air in
the crowded tenement houses. And
IN those sitting tenement houses the
cries Of sick children. perishing for
pure air and strengthening food, were
heard all through the day and night.
Poor, tired women the rapers SAID,
who worked hard all day, paced the
streets nightly, carrying their babes to
give them a breath of fresh air. In
one house, where lived s~eventy-six
families fifty-six childreu died in a short
time from disease, poor feeding and
the effects Of heat. Under the terrible
conditions of life in large. crowded
tenements, it can only be the strongest
children who survive. and the suffer
ings undergone this summer by all the
inmates have been beyond description.

Better no homes than homes like

mean 10 have no home? 1t means, as
hundreds know, haunting docks and

two cents will purchase the privilege

the bare floor, with often as many

THE LABOR WORLD.
A Spectacle TO shame the Civilization of
Paganism.

Paganlsm.
st. Paul Dispatch: Sine" the appli-
cation of steam to the sewing machine
came to be generally adopted female
labor has prevailed almost exclusively
in the manufacture of wearing apparel.
Thousands Of women in every large
city carr their bread as operators.
From childhood to old age women APP
pear, for better or worse, to have en-
tered into those particular callings,
and the sex now constitutes an import
ant element in the great army Of labor.
Hoods Song OF the Shirt" has not
wholly lost its meaning in our day.
The refrain of .'stitch, stitch, stitch"
is now produced by steam, and she
who sews and finishes a dozen of heavy
flannel shirts at fifty or sixty cents
gives to her task a degree of hard phys
ical labor of which her sister of fifty
years ago had not the slightest realiza-
ton. Ruined health and abandoned
hopes are too often the outcome Of q
frail woman's few years labor stopped
over the swiftly flying shuttle. ''Mer-
chants" ard manufacturers grow
rich, and their wives and daughters on
their shopping tour get admirable
''bargains," while upon the shoulders,
upon the poor and toil-worn ome Of
the factory is severely fastened the
yoke Of hard necessity. 1t has always
been SO, and doubtless, despite the la
bors of all the proletariats, from Tibe-
RUS Gracious to Henry George, it will
always be SO.
When Helen Campbell, in the series
of admirable letters which appeared in
the New York Tribune "A few months
ago placed before the reading public
the result of her examination of the
lives of the sewing women of the met
ropoli'an city, it vas truly demon
strated how utterly ignorant one half
of the world is as to how the other
half lives. The spectacle which was
then presented would shame the civili-
zation of paganism; and, hardest of all
other consideration, there appears no
remedy for il at all short of a social
revolution.

Manistee, Mich, Broadaxe: In the
consideration Of the labor question we
are often told that labor is so much
better off now than when our fathers
were young. The old hoary headed
monopolist and land grabber will .ell
you how he came and located at q Ger
tain place and did his first days work
for % cents or "A good square meal OF
v%ictuals. He will rub his hands with
elee, and recoun how he worked for
Squire Fapdoodle at Sc a month, and
fed, clothed and educated a family OF
forty children On that amount.
And now suppose all the pleasant
little fables were true, and that 20
cents per day was the tip-top wages of
that period. And suppose wages now
are four times as much, still the mono
rolist has succeeded in far outstripplng
the laborer in the advance Of the price
of what the laborer has to buy. And
the very article no laboring man can
exist without the very necessity that
